Husband For Hire

The Story

Lizzie hires Jack, whom she believes is a waiter, to pose as her boyfriend at her ex-fiance and step-sister’s engagement party. The deception collapses when Jack proposes in front of her entire family, forcing her to accept the union. She remains unaware that he is not an out-of-work actor but the grandson of a billionaire hotel owner. Jack requires a genuine romantic connection to secure his business interests. Lizzie’s initial assumption about his status proves completely incorrect. The engagement party serves as the catalyst for this unexpected revelation. Her agreement to the proposal stems from the immediate social pressure of the family gathering. The truth about Jack’s wealth and specific needs emerges only after the public declaration.
